PowerSchool Enrollment vs. Snap Audition

PowerSchool registration is good for yearly registration and year-round updates. I would say it is not as good as if you just have a short survey to ask-- there may be other alternatives in the district that are not as cumbersome to use to accommodate something like that. If you want to go to online registration or change from another company, you will not find one that is easier to use. We have well over 35,000 parents who use it and are very successful.

I previously mentioned the scoring system. I would like to be able to use decimals and have multiple categories to score (for percussion, for example, a separate score for timpani, keys, and snare drum, in addition to a total score). I also suspect that some of the videos didn't load because students uploaded the wrong format, so more accepted formats might be helpful. I had some that would freeze halfway through the video, so it clearly wasn't a format issue

• I wish there were a list of query options. Sometimes it's hard to find the right query to use in order to get the results you want.
• I think it's helpful to add more color or easier ways to sift through the data.
• Exporting the data into another program that isn't Notepad! How frustrating!

Incentivized

• Some videos wouldn't load properly, creating challenges for students. Perhaps widen the scope of formats accepted.
• More nuance in the scoring would be helpful, especially the use of decimals in the point system.

I can imagine that it might provide some drawbacks but I only experienced the platform as a judge, not a coordinator

Overall support is excellent. The people are amazing. They have played with different ways of giving the best support, meaning a dedicated specialist vs. email vs. tracking sheet, etc., which was a little frustrating going through those changes. Still, I appreciate all their efforts in finding what works best for their customers. They listen to their customers and make changes.

We already use PowerSchool SIS, and before it became PowerSchool Registration, it was Infosnap, and it integrated with PowerSchool SIS seamlessly. Now that PowerSchool has bought it, the system only keeps getting better and better. Having both companies work together makes the updates less quirky. We no longer have to hope the new updates work in both systems.

Get Acceptd is basically the only other service out there doing this kind of work. Their price point makes it entirely unusable for almost any organization.
